Checked it out in more detail. This is tied somehow to the oil stocks in the Dow or the Dow oil index or something like that. It follow oil stocks though and they were up. I got out. It is OK, I made $300 bucks after commissions, but I was up $600 after yesterday. Not bad for not knowing what the heck you were invested in. |

Yeah, I should have put a "do your own dd" disclaimer, as I didn't know much about the ETF, other than the name.
I like SBS, although it hasn't done anything for me in awhile. It's Brazil, which is soooo played out, but it's water in Brazil. I've had that and SID for awhile. |

Well obviously shorting is commodities isn't something I am familiar with. I do know oil is down about 5% since we started talking about it. |

Am I the only one who really doesn't like to talk about short anything when it comes to personal assets? Or am I the only honest one here?

I've learned to live within my means and doing so is helping me plan for retirement.

I would never make a comment about your financial assets. That is a very personal thing with everyone and not how I would measure someone's worth anyway. Thought you were being funny and I was trying to be in return. Sorry. |
